Student Design Competition Capstone Design ME 4900, 4902. 01, 4902. 02 Shawn Midlam-Mohler Associate Professor of Practice midlam-mohler. 1@osu. edu Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, The Ohio State University

S. D. C. Capstone Overview • The College of Engineering hosts a wide range of student design projects: http: //engineering. osu. edu/studentorgs • Students involved in these activities can use the content as their capstone design project: • A student design team of 3 -6 seniors is created • The project gets the approval of the course instructor • The student design team finds an appropriate technical advisor for the project Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, The Ohio State University

Student Design Competitions • Motorsports Projects: • Formula SAE • BAJA SAE • Buckeye Bullet • Eco. CAR Mobility Challenge • Electric Motorcycle • Supermileage • Other Design Competitions: • Buckeye Space Launch Initiative • Underwater Robotics Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, The Ohio State University

S. D. C. Capstone Overview • The course sequence results in 7 + 14 weeks of working on your project with weekly meetings for updates/advice/deliverables • It is possible to form interdisciplinary teams via other majors taking the ENG capstone sequence • Funding for these projects comes out of already available team budgets (i. e. need faculty advisor approval) and external donations (typically $2500 is reimbursed to the teams) Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, The Ohio State University
